Venus is a hard-working high school senior, focused, with drive and a pending scholarship at CalArts, the esteemed art school in California, that would help her spread her wings and leave Staten Island, her homeplace. Diffident enough and constantly in the shadow of her popular friend Sydney, Venus will be enticed by the notoriously hardcore reality online game "Nerve", and accept to become, for once in her life, a "player" instead of a mere "watcher". However, Venus is definitely not an adrenaline junkie, so by leaving her comfort zone, she will be gradually lured into an ongoing wave of incrementally difficult assignments, all contrived by the "watchers'" hungry appetite for thrills and excitement. When Venus accepts to kiss Ian, a random guy who turns out to be another "Nerve" player, the "watchers" will not be able to get enough of the couple, demanding to team up against an all-night, white-knuckle truth or dare adventure all over town. Inevitably, as the game insidiously claims Vee's personal life and friends, she will have to face one relentless dilemma: how far is she willing to go to win back her life?
'Nerve' is about an online dare game, in which people give participants anonymous dares for money. The participants compete with each other to win the grand prize as the dares get tougher. Things get worse when the tasks get increasingly dangerous and lives are at stake.
I have to say Nerve is one of the best adrenaline movies I've watched the last couple of years. It has a fast pace but still gives us enough time to enjoy the characters. The actor choice was great,bot Emma and Dave gave us that realistic feeling of the movie and a perfect fit for the main role characters.The side ones were not that great but it didn't affect me that much. The dares are all really exciting and unpredictable, I loved that they combined professional filming with the amateur and realistic one (for the dares).

The plot is so amazing that when I was re-telling the story to my friends it took them some time to realize i was talking about a movie and not real life situations.The idea is somewhat innovative and well-timed (since today's world is focused on the internet). It has a moral, but that last part was a bit sloppy which made me give a worse rating than it could have been, it was at parts pretty unrealistic and pathetic. It bothers me that some things in the movie are not explained at all and makes it a bit senseless, but it still reached my expectations and made it really enjoyable to watch.

To sum it up: big plus to the main actors and the plot itself, but the big downside is they way the movie ends, could have been much better.

I would recommend it to anyone who love adrenaline-action movies that reflects on real life situation too ( even if it is not based on a true event ).Solid feedback overall.
This is what I call an adrenaline rush movie, I enjoyed every second of it, making me excited and yet stressed. Emma Roberts and Dave Franco were nontheless so suited in this movie, and played theit part pretty well. It felt like a ride of excitement and intense multiple feelings of happiness, stress and fear. Also the pictures were pretty cool, and the whole movie was captured in an artistic way. Enjoy the ride because you'll love it.
With its engaging story, energetic soundtrack and slick production values, Nerve is an easy watch for restless young minds.
